What's in a good Locksmith quote?
A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered (labour, materials, prep and clean-up), so you're comparing like for like. Check what each locksmith's quote covers before you choose.
Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.
- 01Security licence
The licence number, verifiable with your state regulator.
- 02Callout fee
On its own line, never inside a single lump sum.
- 03Lock brand and model
The exact lock named, not just 'deadbolt'.
- 04Entry method
Pick versus drill; drilling costs more and destroys the lock.
- 05Workmanship warranty
A warranty period, 12 months is the standard minimum.
Cheapest isn't always the best. Check these before you hire anybody.
